The president and his cabinet
think the coinage OF silver should
be discontinued, because it remains
In the treasury. At present there
are but two legitimate ways
Of getting this money out OF the
treasury. one Is paying the public
debt, the other IN defrsying the cur
rent and legitimate expenses Of the
government, both OF which are
opposed by the entire administers
tion. An Legitimate way would be
to anticipate the payment Of interest
to help business" but In the opin-
ion OF the secretary Of the treasury,
silver IS not even good enough for
this.

The Finance Question .

To those who complain OF hard
times, low wages and prices, and
scarcity Of Money, and still think
the finance question has nothing to
do with causing these troubles, and
that their hope is 10 high pro.
tective tariff, We desire to add q few
facts to these already given.
That scarcity OF circulating mon ;
ey II the cause Of low prices and
no one can successfully Or intelli-
gently deny.
That every producer and laboring
man stands IN need OF more money
oil will agree; moro money, then,
would give relief.
But" says one. I'VE have more
money In the country than We ever
had before. and still times are hard. .
Yes, but where is the money?
See the late report Of the Treas
urer.
over S7OO,OOO,OOO locked up In the
Treasury, which for all present
practical purposes might as we'll be
at the bottom Of the ocean.
How came IL there?
Our high protective tariff taxed |,
out OF circnlation, which has caused
prices to drop aud wages to fall
until mans labor viii hardly keep
the wolf from the door.
The high tariff is drawing the
money ont OF circulation faster than
the Government can return il, and
It Is only question Of time when
Dan Manning will have his foo,
upon the last dollar.
BY re- moving the tariff and allow.
Ing the boarded money to return te
tho channels Of trade, would dc
more to protect labor than anything
else. except law to vastly increase
the volume ny loans direct to the
people.

come wise they will demand and

DISMAL PROSPECTS.

Thousands OF NewfoundIanders with Star
walton Staring Them i'm the Face Through
the Failure of the Labrador Fisheries
Great Suffering Anticipated.
ST. JOHNS n. j., Aug. 16.-The news of
the utter failure OF the Labrador fisheries
confirms the worst fears OF the people. Inc
alarming report is received chat 1000 YES
sells are coming back clean, and that the
remaining 800 craft have only q few
quintals of fish each This is the most dis
astrous thing that could happen to the fish
ing colonies here, which depend entirely
upon the yield of the ocean for their exist
ence The news has produced an indie
scIibable feeling of gloom and despair. For
months the hopes Of the people of this col
Ony have been conferred on Labrador, and
now Newfoundlands one industry has failed,
q wall of agonizing distress comes from
the starving people all along thou
sand miles of coast. They could not only
not get any fish themselves, but they could
not sell their bait to French and American
fishermen who were waiting to buy Then
came the terrible drought, two months
without rain, during which the few crops
that are grown in patches along the shore
We're shriveled up. The shore fisheries con-
tinued poor, and, hoping against hope, the
people UufneU longing eyes W IJdDIduof-
Last year the catch averaged less than 200
quintals, and there was starvation all along
the coast. The whole hope of the people
consequently depended upon this years
catCI The outlook for the coming winter
is worse thai it was for last year, while from
present appearances nothing but transport
tation to the United States on Canada or
subsistence at the entire support Of the Gov
eminent will save the whole resident pOpu.'
lation of Labrador from slowly starving to
death.
Thirty thousand people go from New
foundland to Labrador every spring to fish.
They go down in a small craft, whole faTni-
lies, and live q seni-ciVilized life on hard
tack and rock cod during the sum-
met, each small schooner having fifteen
to twenty nen and women indiscrimi-
nately mixed together in the most bar
barous manner Fully 10000 people are
dependent upon the success of those who
go there to fish. These people get in debt
for their supplies, and depend wholly upon
their seasons work to pay for supplies and
keep them through the long and bitter win

EFFECT OF ne BROUGHT.

Decreased Trade Predicted Owing to THE
Partial Failure of the Crops-Duu 3
Co. Estimate the Loss to Farmers at
Over 3,OOO,OOO-Rains End the Long
Dry-SpelI:
New York, Aug. 13.-R. g. Dun & Co.'s
weekly trade review has the following:
Short crops in 1881 proved the turning
point of business for seven years, and the
drought this year, though resulting in less
injury to crops, comes at time when real
estate values at the West have been undsu-
ally inflated. Heavy rains have broken the
long drought during the past week. but
only after the official bureau report had
shown how serious was the injury
sustained, and the relief came
too late to do good in ex-
tensive districts of the Northwest.
The bureau reports losses which can not
be repaired to a considerable part Of the
hay crop; and to oats, tobacco, potatoes
and fruit; little injury to cotton and
wheat, and decline OF IL per cent in the
condition of corn. The work Of destruc-
ton continued ten days after the bureau
reports were made, before rain came, and
the aggregate loss of farmers must ex-
ceed $500, ,00J A difference is inevitable
in the purchases Of manufactured and i'm
ported goods by the MOI invest.
If prices had not been inflated by real
est tate boom, and if new Indebtedness of
enormous volume had not been created,
loss of even tenth of the entire value of
farm products would make little differ
ence, but the wild speculation in lands
and town lots, the expenditure Of many
hundred millions in new buildings, and
the permanent investment of large sums
in new railroads and manufacturing
works, render partial loss Of crops more
important.
Interior reports are uniformly good as to
the volume of business, though at Calves
ton good many orders have been coun-
fernandez. Collections are dull at Kansas
City, slow at Omaha, and money is more
stringent at Philadelphia, with continuing
closeness at Kansas City and Cleveland.
The business failures throughout the
country during the last seven days num-
Der for the United States Isl and for Can
ada %.
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The recent rains
through the West have saved large por-
ton of the crops. although much of the
damage inflicted by the drought was be-
yond repair. The general tenor of the
advices from Missouri, Kansas, Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin points
to short yield of corn, potatoes, grass,
fruits and vegetables
